What numbers are Jones-Gane gonna pull?

[Willy Knuckles]

Can't follow the popular opinion on sherdog anymore lol shit changes so much for no reason. Weren't people talking for the last 3 years how Jon wasn't a draw? Now most people think he will pull 800k against a relative nobody when it comes to drawing power? Seems like most people don't know what a draw is lol

 

[NoSmilez]

Since when does it matter if it's positive reasons he's in the spotlight? Still sells fights.

Not really. Not in this case. Jones PPV sales were slowing down even before he got in trouble for domestic violence

 

[mb23100]

I don't think it will be that huge. Gane isn't a draw and Jones has been on the shelf for so long that the casuals won't care that much.

 

[Tweak896]

600k barely worth it for UFC when ESPN pays 500k ppv per event, honestly UFC really doesn't sell.

 

[Aurelian]

As it is now it's basically Jones carrying the card I'd say 500k. I think the card will still get 2-4 more fights added to increase buys we'll have to see what those fights are. The 2nd biggest fight is Shavkat vs Neal this card needs help.

UFC 239 Buys - Not Released
UFC 247 Buys - Not Released

See a trend?

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I honestly think it will do very well, people have wanted to see Jones at HW for such a long time, and people just want to see Jones fight again period!. it also depends what the undercard will be like and the co-main, but I think it will do very well. Plus we barely ever get HW title fights anymore, like once every 2 years, its become a rarity sadly. People are craving for it.

 

[Tukker]

800k IMO. Hope it's more.

 

[Pascal Bergeron]

New increase in ppv buy and zero rivalry between those two and jones return hype being quite low with how long it has been i would say 550k if its an ok card and maybe 650-700 if stacked

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

It's safe to say that it's not gonna break the all time record - but is it gonna break the million?

A million?? LOL… this will do 500k— 600k at most

he sold 600k vs smith lol this will be more sure

Not with that new price hike

 

[BoxingMMA]

Jon’s popular with his dick riders but those neutrals who have seen him lose at least twice and win by cheating aren’t exactly drawn to him anymore.

that and he doesn’t have mainstream appeal as Khabib, Ronda, Conor , etc.

I’ll still watch for sure of course

 

[Number 8]

No one heard of Gane, around 600k at best.

 

[CC27]

Jones has never done a million buy PPV, not even sure Francis/Jones would have gotten there.

This one is tough to say cause does the long layoff hurt or help him? Is it oh cool Jones is back finally going to HW we have to buy this or is it meh we've moved past Jones?

I'll say maybe 600k.

 

[MarleyLynx]

400-600

 

[Reanimated]

If the card doesn't get a more appealing co-main, then maybe 500-600. Jones has been out of the picture too long to draw huge numbers... and the price increase won't help either.

 

[CieloLuce]

520k buys, Jones hasn't fought in a while and Gane doesn't have the pull like Ngannou has.


This fight is still interesting, just not as appealing.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Less than Conor fighting anyone from Sherdog.

And that's a fact.

 

[Willek]

72.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

An Olympic swimming pool full of buys.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

600-700k

UFC is going through a talent drought so this might be the biggest fight of 2023
